Herbal Extract Powder

For different types of “nodules”: Traditional Chinese medicine formulas select herbs based on the nature of the “nodule.” For example, in cases of heat-nodule syndrome, rhubarb may be used in large doses to clear heat and promote bowel movement; for phlegm-nodule syndrome, the focus is on using herbs that resolve phlegm.

Resolving Phlegm and Softening Hardened Masses: For “phlegm nodules” formed by the accumulation of phlegm-dampness, herbs such as Sargassum, Laminaria, and Zhebei Mu are commonly used to soften hardened masses and disperse nodules. Modern research also indicates that these Chinese herbs are frequently used as adjunctive treatments for conditions such as thyroid nodules and lung nodules.

Promoting Blood Circulation and Resolving Stasis: For lumps caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, herbs that promote blood circulation and regulate qi—such as Chuanxiong, Danggui, Sanling, and E Zhu—are combined.

Representative Formulas: Classic formulas such as “Neixiao Jiaoliao Tablets” (containing Hyssop, Sargassum, Zhebei Fritillary Bulb, etc.) can be used to treat scrofula and phlegm nodules caused by stagnation of phlegm-dampness; “Sargassum and Jade Vase Decoction” (containing Sargassum, Kelp, Fritillary Bulb, etc.) is a representative formula for resolving phlegm, softening hardness, eliminating goiters, and dispersing nodules, primarily used to treat goiters in their early stages.
